Mr. c. N. Winslow was the judge of the
above classes. IMr. Winslow was pitched
into by Mr.. Day Of New York. upon pass
ing his judgment in the matter of awarding
the prizes to the Holstein herd and a protest
was entered to the trustees, and a long
and interesting hearing was held at the Pres
ident's Office. Mr.. Days principal argument
was that Mr.. Winslow knew absolutely moth
ing about Holstein stock. DR.. Day claimed
to have been unjustly used by not being al
for examination, which, he claimed, had no
superior in the country, and petitioned for a
re-examination. President Prince presided
impartially at the hearing. 1t looks as
though Mr.. Days request for a re-examina-
tion will be denied. as the rule says all OBJ
fore the examination.
The exhibition at the poultry building is
the most complete of any year and is attract
ing much admiration.
The grand stand is packed and each train
that arrives brings fresh loads of people.
The receipts for admissions and grou nd
rents today have been over thirty-tw0 hun
dred dollars, or eight hundred more than last
year.. The programme has been carried out
in full and to the satisfaction of everybody.
The exhibit of stock in all departments is of
a high order and remarkably full.
The racing has been good. Aubine, the
full sister OF Nelson, owned by G. III. Nelson,
Watervilie, lowered her record from 2.321,
made in the green horse race at Bangor last
week, to 2.273 in the 2.37 elass-a remarkable
record for five year old. In the green horse
race Duster won in three straight heats
time, 2.373, asst, 2.364 In the 2.37 class
Aubine won in one, two and three order;
time, 2.2SA, 2.274, 2.30.
The 2.34 class was walk-over for Rocket,
Dictator Chief. the only horse that had any
business with him, being drawn. Time
2.363, 1884, 2361.
Rocket last week got record of 2.29b, and
could easily have maintained that today had
1t been necessary.
All indications point to a very large at
tendance tomorrow. The show in the agri-
cultural department is fine, the grange exhib-
its being especially so.
The Maine State Experiment Station also
makes full and complete showing of grains
and vegetables raised on the State College
farm, being made to test the value Of seeds,
grains and vegetables for the benefit of the
farmers of Maine. Altogether the exhibit is
fine, and worthy of a visit from every lover
of Maine stock and industries.
